HIS MAIESTIES SPEECH At Shrewsbury , on Michaelmas Eve last , to the Gentry and Commons of the County of Salop , there Assembled . Octob: 6 1642 Gentlemen ,

IT , is some benefit to me from the Insolencies , and misfortunes which have driven me about , that they have brought me to so good a part of my Kingdome , and to so faithfull a part of my people ; I hope neither you nor I shall repent my comming hither , I will doe my part that you may not : And of you , I was confident before I came ; the residence of an Army is not usually pleasant to any place , and mine may carry more feare with it , since it may be thought ( being Robbed and spoyled of all my owne , and such terror used to fright and keepe all men from supplying me ) I must onely live upon the ayde and reliefe of my people ; but be not affraid , I would to God my poore Subjects suffered no more by the Insolence & violence of that Army raised against me ( though they have made themselves wanton even with plenty ) then you shall doe by mine , and yet I feare I cannot prevent all disorders ; I will doe my best ; and this I le promise you , no man shall be a loser by me if I can helpe it ; I have sent hither for a Mint , and will melt down all my own Plate , and expose my Land to sale or morgage , that if it be possible I may bring the least pressure upon you . In the meane time I have Summoned you hither to invite you to doe that for me and your selves , for the maintenance of your Religion , the law of the Land ( by which you injoy all that you have ) which other men doe against Vs : Doe not suffer so good a cause to bee lost for want of supplying me with that , which will be taken from you by those who pursue me with this violence , and whilst these ill men sacrifise their Money , Plate , and utmost industry to destroy the Common-Wealth , be you no lesse liberall to preserve it . And assure your selves if it please God to blesse me with successe , I shall remember the particular assistance every man here gives me , to his advantage ; However , it will hereafter ( how furiously the minds of men are now possessed ) be honour and comfort to you , that with some charge and trouble to your selves , you did your part to support your King , and preserve the Kingdome .

I desire M. Sheriffe , and the rest of the Gentlemen , to distribute themselves in that Method , that they may best receive the expressions which you shall make of your best affections , the which I will have particularly presented to me .
